Comment(by sunrise1):

 After a lot of googling, I've found at least the reasons for such a
 behavior with Python programs. The full explanation is here:
 http://docs.python.org/lib/module-locale.html A program will not be locale
 aware as long you don't import the locale module and call setlocale(),
 even if your environment is set with a locale![http://www.tagnice.com

 So as the base class sugar.activity does not set the locale correctly
 according to the locale selected by the user in the control panel, you
 have to explicitly call setlocale() in your activity.
